Bio-Inspired Highest Lift-to-Drag-Ratio Fin Shape and Angle for Maximum Surfboard Stability: Flow Around Fish Fins

Wave surfing is a multi-billion dollar industry involving both maneuverability and speed, yet little research has been performed regarding the highest lift-to-drag-ratio fin shape for these competing qualities. Numerical modeling and laboratory experiments were performed here to identify a bio-inspi...
